Farming Forward

Farming Forward is an unusually intimate look at the people of sustainable farming…(they) speak to us directly about the importance of the simple values of beauty, hard work, stewardship and wholesome food.

-Isabel Gregersen, SFA Intern

Farming Forward is a positive and inspiring look at sustainable farming in Minnesota. Directed by Martin Lang and Ethan Marxhausen in collaboration with the Sustainable Farming Association of Minnesota, this new documentary paints an intimate portrait of the state’s burgeoning diversity of small family farms, from the rural to the urban, from multi-generational farms to new immigrant operations, from organic to local (or both!) and every point in between. Meet the people, young and old, from interns to elders, who grow your food and are passionate about reestablishing the links between people, the land and their food.
